side dish

Discover delicious vegan side dishes.

There are plenty of starchy classics like a vegan sweet potato casserole and these crispy smashed potatoes. I’ve also included flavourful vegetable and grain sides like my cold ginger noodle salad and this green love quinoa salad.

To dive even deeper into vegan side dish recipes, The First Mess Cookbook has plenty of inspiration.
